In 2011, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia EVT 1000 Caponord, an adventure motorcycle that packed the same performance, visual, and technical specifications as previous models without any changes whatsoever.
The bike debuted in 2001 and belonged to the same family as the Aprilia RST 1000 Futura and RSV Mille. In addition, the bike was created for those riders searching for a machine capable of tackling paved and unpaved roads.
The first series was produced between 2001 and 2003, while the second series was made since 2004. The bikes manufactured in 2004 featured visual, technical, and mechanical modifications and were marketed with an Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) system.
The 2011 model had standard features, such as a half fairing with a large headlight unit, a medium-sized windscreen, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a high-mounted exhaust system, an engine cover, and wire-spoke wheels.
In the performance department, the 2011 Aprilia ETV 1000 Caponord had installed a 998 cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin powerhouse underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 98 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 97 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.
As for suspension, the bike's front wheel was guided by a 50 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork with 175 mm of travel and an aluminum alloy swingarm with an adjustable Sachs shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.
